Welcome to the website of the Braunton Bridge Club.

Visitors are very welcome.  Play starts at 7:00pm so please be seated by 6:55pm. The table money of £5.00 for visitors includes refreshments.  

We do not operate a host system so please contact Jacqui Munns on 07734 219859 in the first instance if a partner is needed.

Following the 2023 AGM of the Braunton Bridge Club we are delighted to announce that Catherine Davey is our new chair.
As discussed at the AGM, we are asking for members views on the following

1. Competitions - going forward, we propose to run only the following competitions - the monthly wine prize handicap competitions, the Brenda Martin Handicap Trophy in August,  the Masterpoints Championship for the Blackwell Cup and the Pairs Ladder for the League Championship Cup, both running from September to August, the Sims for Children in Need in November, and  our own charity night in March for the Margaret Curtis Charity Shield. We will not be running any other competitions, including the League teams, the Swiss Teams, the Pairs and the Singles Championships, the Ladies & Gents Pairs, and the Multiple Teams.

2. Trophies - The committee felt that rather than giving out trophies at the end of the year, we would create a ‘Hall of Fame’ section on the website to record the names (with pictures) of all the winners. But what to do with the trophies that relate to competitions that we do not plan to continue? Options include giving them back to the person who donated them, if appropriate, or giving them to the last person(s) to win them. 

For more information on all of these competitions and their associated silverware, click HERE.

3. The Xmas Party - we are currently exploring options for the Xmas Party 2023 but would like to hear your views. Do you want to continue with a lunch, or have an evening party? Would you like to return to the Georgeham Village Hall or would you prefer another venue?

To send us your views (before the end of June 2023) on all of these issues, use the 'Contact Us' form below.. The committee will then consider your views when making a decision on these issues in July.

Here's some dates for your diary - both online and Face-to-Face events in Devon and beyond.
